Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The purpose of the present invention is to further improve the accuracy of position control of a machine apparatus. A control device for a machine apparatus is equipped with: a speed control unit for calculating a torque command for the machine apparatus; a friction estimation unit for calculating an estimated value of the friction force produced by the machine apparatus; an amplitude phase adjustment unit for calculating a corrected friction value by multiplying the proportional gain by the friction force estimated by the friction estimation unit; and a correction unit for correcting the torque command by using the corrected friction value calculated by the amplitude phase adjustment unit. Furthermore, the proportional gain is determined on the basis of the gain properties of the transfer function of the machine apparatus from the position command to the position deviation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A control device for a machine apparatus, the device comprising: torque command calculation means for calculating a torque command for the machine apparatus; friction estimation means for calculating an estimated value of a friction force produced in the machine apparatus; adjustment means for calculating a corrected value by multiplying the estimated value calculated by the friction estimation means by a predetermined gain; and correction means for correcting the torque command calculated by the torque command calculation means using the corrected value calculated by the adjustment means, wherein the gain is determined on the basis of gain properties of a transfer function of the machine apparatus from a position command to a position deviation. 2. The control device for a machine apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the gain is determined on the basis of an area that is surrounded by the gain properties of the transfer function in a low frequency region and a predetermined threshold. 3. The control device for a machine apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the transfer function is derived by using linear analysis. 4. The control device for a machine apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the transfer function is derived by using linear analysis. 5. A gain determination method for friction compensation used in a control device that calculates an estimated value of a friction force produced in a machine apparatus, calculates a corrected value by multiplying the calculated estimated value by a predetermined gain, and corrects a torque command for the machine apparatus using the corrected value, the method comprising: a step of deriving a transfer function of the machine apparatus from a position command to a position deviation; and a step of determining the gain on the basis of gain properties of the transfer function.
